I started learning the piano in September '08. Rather than going all out on a big piano, I got a digital piano with weighted keys - the Yamaha YDP-213 Digital Piano. Here are are a few links, mostly for my own benefit, to show the progress made!

Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un autre été L'après midi. The original piece with a nice animation can be found here.

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata. I wanted to learn how to play the piano to be able to play this piece. This is only about 2:00 of the actual piece.

Yann Tiersen - Rue de Cascades. The most technically challenging piece I've tried to learn thus far. The best performance of this piece is by Dave Thomas.
